# Create a prompt

> Learn how to create a prompt with Latitude SDK

## Code

Here is how you can get or create a new prompt with our SDK. If the prompt already exists, it will be returned. Otherwise, a new prompt will be created.

<Note>You can't create prompts on `live` versions. You have to create a new
version and point to it.</Note>

  ```typescript Typescript theme={null}
  import { Latitude } from '@latitude-data/sdk'

  const PROMPT = `
  Answer succinctly yet complete.
  <user>
    Tell me a joke about a {{topic}}
  </user>
  `
  async function run() {
    const sdk = new Latitude(process.env.LATITUDE_API_KEY, {
      projectId: Number(process.env.PROJECT_ID),
      // YOU CAN NOT CREATE A PROMPT IN A LIVE Version
      // versionUuid='live',
      // More info: https://docs.latitude.so/guides/prompt-manager/version-control
      versionUuid: '[CREATE_A_NEW_VERSION_UUID]',
    })

    const response = await sdk.prompts.getOrCreate('create-prompt/example', {
      prompt: PROMPT,
    })
    console.log('Response', response)
  }

  run()
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import asyncio
  import os

  from latitude_sdk import (
      Latitude,
      LatitudeOptions,
      GetOrCreatePromptOptions,

  PROMPT = """

  async def run():
      api_key = os.getenv("LATITUDE_API_KEY")
      sdk_options = LatitudeOptions(
          project_id=int(os.getenv("PROJECT_ID")),
          # YOU CAN NOT CREATE A PROMPT in A LIVE Version
